Gemstar Shipping Cases will Protect You from Baggage Handlers

Back in 2009, Dave Carroll, lead musician in a Canadian band called “Sons of Maxwell” had a bad experience on a United Airline flight connection inChicago.   His expensive guitar was broken as it was being loaded onto the airplane.  Dave and his band watched in horror from the airplane as they saw the ground crew tossing their guitars onto the conveyor.    It is an interesting story, because after getting nowhere with United, he made a video about the incident.  To make a long story short, the video went viral with over 10 million views, Dave appeared on several television shows to talk about it and United Airlines ended up paying for the repair.
